Electric Fields - IB Physics

The electric field value tells you the force that a particle will experience per unit of charge on the particle. It is a vector that points in the direction that a positive charge will be pushed by the field. In this video I go over the basic definition and equations for an electric field, several examples of finding the field value, superposition of fields, and how to draw electric field lines.

man my exams are in a few days and i just found your channel, time to speedrun, and it goes it without saying, thank you, so so much, teachers are just underpayed man

Man, until now, you have basically teached me all what I have learned in IB teacher, and I know that you will keep teaching me in the other units. I'm so greatful for your lectures. Thank you for teaching us!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that all of theese topic 5 videos are not i the electricity and magnetism playlist, only like 5 videos are in there so I got a bit confused as to where the rest of the videos were. Great videos btw:)

So basically, if we were to put a positive charge in a field, the direction that the positive charge would hypothetically go under the influence of an arbitrary charge is the direction of the field?

Shouldn’t the value at 4:38 be negative?

Hi, I am confused about the case of a charge passing between a pair of parallel plates. Is the parabolic route applicable for both positive and negative charges?
